The Caringin Banten Mosque is a historic relic that must be preserved and introduced to the public, but the condition of the historic mosque in Banten is no longer visible, therefore digitalization is needed so that people can know the historical events of the mosque. The technology that can be used to digitize the mosque building is Virtual Reality, which is a technology that allows users to see and interact with an environment that is simulated by a computer, so that users feel they are in that environment. Virtual Reality can be applied to various devices, one of which is currently widely used, namely Android. The purpose of this research is to produce a Virtual Reality application for the Caringin Banten Mosque based on an Android smartphone, with the hope of making it easier for the public to know and learn about the historical heritage of the Caringin Banten Mosque. This research method uses the Waterfall model from the SDLC. The stages are divided into 6 namely: System modeling, Software requirements analysis, Design, Coding, Testing and Maintenance. The author uses Blender software to create three-dimensional objects, then uses Unity software to create virtual reality applications. Based on testing, the application can run smoothly on the author's Android device. However, when tested by 10 (ten) people, the application still has some shortcomings. However, the application was successful in introducing the Caringin Banten Mosque to users.
